Long Pond man in jail for illegal gun possession

The police said they used a search warrant around 5:30 p.m. to look for firearms at the residence of Lewis Conboy, 69, of Kuhenbeaker Road. Police said Conboy has a past felony conviction, and for this reason he is not allowed to have possession of firearms. During the search, they found nine firearms at the residence.

Conboy was taken into custody without incident and charged with nine counts of persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms. This charge is a second degree felony, police said. Conboy was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Facility pending arraignment before Judge Claypool.
